Indeed. I think Glastonbury is the one where my patience is thinnest, oh, sorry, the music festival you were able to watch, live and for free at home featured a musician saying something offensive and crass? Are you five?

And huh, here's a useful one about the 'well, the focus groups say...' approach too.

Really cannot be overstated how many jokes Sabrina the Teenage Witch is stuffed with as well as the fun plots (at least while she's still at high school) and niche 60s-70s celeb cameos. Go back and watch it now!

And the Grink, who WAS there

well yes

THIS is the happy medium. Bonkers but not trite. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I should not call him.

Although the show is pretty bad I am hopeful this means we are over that weird "I don't want to see these actors even TOUCH eachother to convey romantic feelings" era of TV/film

I've eaten 12 KitKats in four days

I am once again lamenting the cancellation of the HBO show "Julia" starring an impeccable Sarah Lancashire as Julia Child and David Hyde Pierce as her best friend/husband Paul. Two wonderful series, at least.

Uh...huh

uhhhh

Oh no

Could they save all this for after Christmas please some of us want to be able to eat this year

My theory of Kemi is that she cannot tell the difference between 'your PMQs on the family farm tax would have gone better if you had taken the time to be across the detail of the family farm tax and been able to ask six questions about it' and 'why are you talking about the family farm tax?'

Trying to find what the good median News Story is as every single one has infuriated me today. Nothing too serious and nothing too light. Pet heavy perhaps.

Opening up home town Grindr:

Why aren't the BBC, @walesonline.bsky.social and @nation.cymru reporting on the biggest news in Cardiff - the unexpected and unexplained closure of Queen Street Sainsbury's that is now into its third week?

Er

Reform are now running as an openly racist party because they’re panicking their vote has stalled at best. Anyone not willing to ask them about this is working as their PR & should be forced to declare it

Was wondering yesterday, and partially worrying, why I was so woozy and had a massive headache yesterday. Xmas wind down after work? The bug that's going around? No it's because there is literally no caffeine in my parents house.

Literally demanding it should be illegal for people not to like them. Totally incapable of accepting any responsibility for themselves www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This reminds me! Five years ago I had a chat with the local council official who created “Winterval” in 1998. A real canary in the coal mine of future British culture wars. TBH the real story is that councils used to have money to spend on cultural events. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Fell asleep watching Muppets Christmas Carol last night, elite Christmas Dad behaviour I believe.

Chris Rea, who loved Cars and Driving, dead at 74

That's a grand stretch in the evening.

Oh to be a snowy owl perched atop two tangerines

The RuPaul quote...

Great to hear that you and ur bf managed to get away for the festive season xx

Agree with all of this, other than "the right will go 'pro-natalist" - I think what will happen is that much of the right will shift from 'blaming our ills on immigration' to 'blaming our ills on ethnic diversity', which is already happening to an extent.

On the Royal Variety Show Katherine Jenkins is performing a classical version of Golden.

Jon Culshaw is on the Royal Variety Show and his Martin Lewis sounds like his Dale Winton

KILL IT

Mmm. Sounds Blues.

Top 10 Average Dad Christmas Crash-Outs:

Not dark enough early enough imo

desperate to be the guy writing the business case for this

I think he wants to come across as (pre Epstein) Mandelsonian but just ends up being Partridge.

What a rich and succulent I mean full bodied I mean varied discography

We strongly advise against trying any funny business here at the sanctuary because our security guards Bert and Ernie keep a very close eye on everything.
